Make an Autumn tree
2 Ways to Make a Clay Lamp
With the colder weather setting in, teach your little one about taking care of garden animals like birds by making bird feeder snacks.
Age group: 3years+
Table of Contents
What you need:
- A box of hoop-shaped breakfast cereal
- String (length depending on how long you want the feeder to be)
- a paper clip (I straightened and tied this to the one end of the wool so that it was easier for my 3 year old to put it through the small hole in the cereal)
What to do:
Thread the first hoop into the wool. Tie it with the wool so that it cannot fall off and serves as a stopper for all the hoops to follow.
- Thread the hoops onto the string and knot the ends together as for a necklace.
- Hang these tasty snacks on plants, hedges and trees in your garden and watch how your feathered friends enjoy their treat!
Tips:
- Take the opportunity to discuss and look at birds in books or online.
- Talk about the different types, migration, endangered birds and any other aspects of bird life that your toddler shows interest in.
